Penalty charges
433.Section 83(1) gives the Scottish Ministers the powers to make regulations for or in connection with the imposition of penalty charges in relation to workplace parking licensing schemes, and the notification, payment and adjudication of those charges. Subsection (3)(a) provides that regulations under subsection (1) may make or permit workplace parking licensing schemes to include provision about the imposition of penalty charges in specified circumstances, the timing and manner of the payment of charges, charge amounts, reviews and appeals against decisions in relation to charges and the cancellation of charges. Subsection (3)(b) allows the regulations to make provision requiring local authorities to serve a notice of that charge on any person liable to pay it, about the form and content of that notice and about the way compliance with that notice may be enforced. Penalty charges for failure to comply with licensing requirements are (under subsection (2)) to be applied to the occupier of the premises or such other person as specified by Ministers in regulations in specified circumstances.
